I agree!!
I just use the standard B7T9 and apply a writing strategy swap with MCSE

MID: CMC MAG E01
Brand: Bulkpaq
Type: DVD+R 8x rated
Burn strategy used: Yuden000 T03
Burned at: 8x speed
Firmware: BenQ B7T9

This burn is much better than with the regular B7P9 or B7T9(see second scan).
Although with Philips P3.2 I also got good results with these disc, just not with the stock strategy in B7P9 and B7T9. Strange as I have seen others with excellent scans with CMC MAG E01 using Benq firmware

My drive is burning crap at default (B7T9) firmware and SONY D11.

Tried a write trategy swap to TY_T02, hmm...

Pretty scan for CMC MAG E01's, tslee! I may have to try that CMC MAG M01 strategy on my CMC Mag F01's and see what I get although the burns are already fairly pretty even at stock strategy.

*Braxas* · 01-02-2005

Oh my! I took a peek in the write strategies and found OptodiscOR4 wasn't included. This media burns very sweetly on our BenQ's and is ultra cheap! $11.99 per spindle at Tigerdirect with Silver Matte finish and is very overspeedable at 8x.

Braxas, thanks for the heads-up for the OPTODISC OR4 @ Philips 081. I'll give that a try.

In the mean time, here's my attempt with this Onidtech garbage DVD-R:
MID:ONIDTECH

Glad you got it figured out

*Braxas* · 01-02-2005

@d.lu - try burning at 4-8x and see what you get. 4x media over-burning at 16x is normally bad-bad especially if it's supposedly garbage media.

And I agree, rolling56, I'm glad too! The OptodiscOR4 stock burn wasn't terrible by any means but that burn with the Philips 081 strategy @ 8x was just darned pretty for media that cheap.

d.lu · 01-02-2005

I tried to set Optodiscw002 to Optodiscw004 and flashed my FW, however, Nero and other programs still don't get it recognized at 4x burning, here's what I got thru DVD Identifier:

Hmmm, thought I read in one of the other posts on strategy swapping that RW's weren't supported? Could be wrong on this of course but think I remember reading that somewhere.
